i just purchased my first frog and it is a young whites tree frog. im wondering if fallen tree branches from my yard are safe to put in the tank for the frog to climb on? also, is there anything i need to do to the branches before putting them in the tank with the frog? i want to ensure a happy and healthy environment for my new pal. any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated. tanks. |

You need to make sure that any collected branches are not toxic before using them and that they are from a chemical-free area. I know fruit tress are alright so use in snake vivariums, but I would do a bit of research to make sure this is true for frogs too.
I wouldn't recommend treating a branch intended for amphibian use with bleach or anything similar, so I would probably opt for just sanding down the bark as much as possible, giving it a soak in boiling water and/or baking it in the oven for an hour at 100 degrees to kill any nasties. |
